Key points
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhnyi addressed the politicians: "I want to address the politicians who, being in the rear cities, talk about "betrayal" and make "assessments" of the operational situation. With their irresponsible statements, such as the enemy allegedly took this or that city or that treason is allegedly being prepared, you insult our soldiers.
The defense forces are heroically resisting the enemy, which was called the second army in the world, stopped the enemy in all directions and caused him such losses that they had never seen and could not imagine, all Ukrainians and the whole world know about this.
British intelligence concludes that the russians lack high-precision weapons.
Since April, russian medium bombers have launched dozens of Kh-22 heavy air-launched missiles from ground targets. These missiles were designed to destroy aircraft carriers, and when used with a non-nuclear warhead, they are highly inaccurate and can cause significant collateral damage – including civilian casualties.
"The russian federation probably resorts to such ineffective weapons systems because it lacks more accurate modern missiles, while Ukraine's air defense system continues to prevent its tactical aircraft from launching strikes over most of the country," the report says.
